When nine o'clock rang from the church tower across the park she laid down her tools with an air of great content. "Dido, is this true?"

This discovery at once irritated, amazed and perplexed the major. That the handkerchief of Mrs. Dallas should be bound around the head of Jaggard was strange, but that it should be perfumed with the deadly scent which impregnated the devil-stick was stranger still. Had Mrs. Dallas found the wand of sleep? Had Mrs. Dallas perfumed the handkerchief with its cruel poison?

She even made some little speech to each, though Patricia was too far away to catch more than a word or two. "Major gone out, sir," explained Jaggard, to whom Maurice applied for information. "He got a message from Dr. Etwald, and went to see him. Be back to dinner, sir, I b'lieve." "Then let her see the police, sir, although I don't agree with you. She is not the woman to put a rope round her own neck--black as it is.".
